If Hawkins keeps saying "Jesus" during his broadcasts, I don't think he'll have a future in the booth. He's now 2 for 2 during the last 2 games. It's not a big deal to me, but to those in this PC world, it's a big deal.
Colome's letter to home:
Dear Mom,
I really suck. Nobody likes me. They're blaming me for the bad start to the season. What should I do, mom? Oh, please don't have Dad come to the States. He'll just kick my butt, unless of course he brings me ...........Oh, nevermind.
Things Twins can't do for 11 consecutive games:
1. Win all of them
2. Hit .250
3.Not put 1/4 of the starters on IL
4. Rest and recuperate, fully
5. not make an error
6.Keep Garver under 8 passed balls.
Twins had a coach, in the 70's I think, by the name of Frank Crosetti. He was a little guy who always seemed to be ticked off. He would hit fungos from the first base line to the outfielders in left field, before the game. Us kids, would beg him to throw us a few balls. He'd scowl and tell us to go away. One day after hitting fungos, there was about 10 of us kids, yelling at him for some balls. He didn't look or yell at us, but proceeded to foul off about half a dozen balls directly behind himself. I'll never forget that.
Fans used to get a kick out of Bosox's George Scott take warm up/ infield. He'd catch the throws between his legs, with his back to the infield, etc. Harlem Globetrotter style antics.
